Continuing with the increased pace of road construction NHAI has achieved the construction of 3,979 km of national highways in FY 2019-20 as compared to 3,380 km in the preceding financial year, clocking the highest highway construction in a financial year since its inception in 1995. The Government has envisaged a very ambitious highway development program namely Bharatmala Pariyojana which includes development of about 65,000 km national highways. Under Phase-I of Bharatmala Pariyojana, the Government has approved implementation of 34,800 km of national highways with a very stiff target of 5 years with an outlay of ₹ 5,35,000 crore. NHAI has been mandated development of about 27,500 km of national highways under Bharatmal Pariyojna Phase-I. To achieve the laid down targets, NHAI has taken numerous initiatives including the revival of stalled projects, streamlining of land acquisition, disposal of cases in respect of change of scope (CoS) and extension of time (EoT) in a time bound manner. Also included are procedure for approval of General Arrangement Drawing for ROBs, close coordination with other ministries and state governments and fund infusion, among others.
